Full Description:
Premium Architecture & Frameless Aesthetics
The Schneider AvatarOn Series revolutionizes modern light switches through its signature frameless design and chic, mirror-smooth finish. Winning the prestigious 2017 iF Design Award, the AvatarOn range transforms functional wall hardware into an aesthetic interior element. The sleek white finish (E8331L2_WE_G11) blends effortlessly against white plaster, textured wallpaper, wood paneling, or minimalist concrete walls commonly found in contemporary Malaysian residential developments, condominiums, and commercial properties.Constructed using high-grade, flame-retardant polycarbonate for the base, frame, and dolly, this switch guarantees long-term durability without yellowing or fading over time. Its smooth cover plate features an innovative tool-free click-on mounting mechanism, allowing homeowners and interior designers to easily swap out or custom-print covers to match changing interior decor themes without rewiring the switch.Dual-Point Control Functionality (1 Gang 2 Way)
Engineered as a 1-Pole 2-Way switch, the E8331L2_WE_G11 model allows users to control a single light fixture or lighting circuit from two separate wall locations. This configuration is essential for modern home floor plans, offering convenience across various layout scenarios:- Staircases & Multi-Level Layouts: Turn lights on at the ground floor and turn them off from the top landing.
- Master Bedrooms: Control main overhead ceiling lights from both the room entry door and the bedside panel.
- Long Hallways & Corridors: Switch lights on at one end of a passage and off at the exit point.
- Large Open-Plan Living Rooms: Operates efficiently across extended rooms with multiple entryways.
Superior Electrical Performance & 16AX Heavy Load Rating
Unlike standard 10A residential switches, the Schneider AvatarOn E8331L2 features a 16AX rating at 250V AC (50/60 Hz). The "AX" designation signifies its capability to handle high inductive and capacitive surges without contact welding or internal degradation. This heavy-duty load capacity makes it compatible with a wide array of modern lighting loads:- Energy-efficient LED ceiling downlights and LED strip drivers
- Fluorescent light tubes and compact fluorescent lamps (CFL)
- High-wattage incandescent and halogen light bulbs
- Small ceiling fans or exhaust fan circuits within rated current limits
Versatile Mounting & Malaysian Safety Compliance
The switch supports both flush-mounted (concealed wall junction box) and surface-mounted installation, fitting standard 86 mm x 86 mm switch box dimensions commonly used across Malaysia. Built with an IP20 degree of protection, it ensures safe everyday touch operation while protecting internal components from dust ingress.Schneider Electric products undergo rigorous testing to meet stringent international and regional electrical safety requirements. The AvatarOn E8331L2_WE_G11 strictly complies with:- MS IEC 60669-1 (Malaysian Standard for Household Switches)
- SS 227-1 (Singapore Standard for Electrical Switches)
- BS EN 60669-1 (British Standard for Switches for Household Electrical Installations)
- IEC 60669-1 (International Electrotechnical Commission Safety Standard)

Q1: What is the difference between a 1-way and 2-way Schneider AvatarOn switch?
A: A 1-way switch controls a light from a single location, whereas a 2-way switch (like the Schneider AvatarOn E8331L2) allows you to control the same light fixture from two different locations (e.g., top and bottom of a staircase).
Q2: Is Schneider AvatarOn 1 Gang 2 Way Switch suitable for LED lights?
A: Yes. Rated at 16AX 250V, the switch is specially built to handle high-inrush currents generated by LED drivers, preventing switch contact sticking or premature failure.
Q3: What standard sizes fit the Schneider AvatarOn E8331L2_WE_G11 switch in Malaysia?
A: It uses the standard 86mm x 86mm square profile, making it a direct replacement fit for standard Malaysian concealed flush boxes or surface mounting bases.
Q4: Can I change the cover color of the Schneider AvatarOn switch later?
A: Yes. AvatarOn switches feature a patented tool-free snap-on faceplate mechanism, allowing you to swap white covers for other colors or custom printable designs without touching live wires.
Q5: What does the "16AX" rating mean on the Schneider AvatarOn switch?
A:The "16AX" rating indicates a 16 Ampere capacity specifically certified for inductive lighting loads (fluorescents and LEDs), providing higher surge tolerance than traditional 10A switches.
Q6: Where is a 1 Gang 2 Way switch typically installed in home wiring?
A: Common application areas include stairways, long hallways, master bedroom entrance/bedside dual-control switches, and multi-entrance living rooms.
Q7: Does the Schneider AvatarOn E8331L2_WE_G11 come with an LED indicator light?
A: No, the E8331L2_WE_G11 is a clean, frameless solid rocker switch without an illuminated LED indicator. (For LED locator models, refer to the E8331D20N range).
